Similar situation here except that I don't have any Wincrap. I initially set 
5GB for / and the rest for /home, but that wasn't enough for Kubuntu and 
Ubuntu and OpenOffice all at the same time. So, I made a 7GB for / and the 
rest for /home and I am happy with it:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              6345400   3472596   2872804  55% /
/dev/mapper/home      31743408  22818428   8924980  72% /home

And please, when posting a new question, please, do post a new mail, don't 
reply to an existent one.
